So with it being John's birthday, I finally had time to make him a cake this year. Usually, he reminds me about the day before, and I've never got all the stuff I need, or I'm making one for somebody else. So after patiently waiting two years, he finally gets this one. Now in all fairness, it...

As you know it was recently my birthday, so Hannah decided as part of my present she would make me a cake. She then banished me from my own kitchen and proceeded with her plan; I was only allowed in to take a few photos! Here she is in action! She's good to go with her instructions at the...

Here is the Frozen Cake that I have been working on. It is a chocolate top tier filled with chocolate fudge icing, and the base is a Madeira cake filled with jam and buttercream. The turrets and towers were part of the Wilton Castle Cake Set and the Frozen Figures I bought from Disney. The snow...

This is a birthday cake I put together for my daughter's 9th birthday back in the beginning of January. A Victoria sponge cake bought from Tesco, then I made some butter icing, and then moulded a cat from some black shaping icing (or whatever its called). I used some sprinkles for the eyes.
